Olive Magazine has released a list of the best places in Yorkshire for those wanting to try out highly rated restaurants.

The list features spots across all of Yorkshire from busy cities to quiet market towns with hidden gems to enjoy.

Helmsley made it onto the list thanks to its beautiful cafés and Michelin-starred restaurant.

Why is Helmsley a great spot for foodies?

On the market town, Olive Magazine said: “For a pretty Yorkshire stop, visit Helmsley Walled Garden, a five-acre idyll blooming with fruit trees, peonies, clematis, cornflowers and much more.

“On the outskirts, The Vine House Café is a lovely way to enjoy the gardens and its wildlife.

“The menu focuses on simple, homemade dishes such as seasonal soups (spring veg, feta and mint), open sandwiches (chicken with a spicy peanut sauce or ham with homemade pickles), and beautiful salad boards.

“If you’re on the hunt for picnic provisions, pick up a chubby hunter (Yorkshire’s answer to rock cakes) and a pot of rhubarb and tomato chutney at Hunters of Helmsley deli in the town’s market square.

“Alternatively, stop for lunch at the Vinehouse Café, inside the refurbished Victorian glasshouses that overlook Helmsley’s walled garden, for a rustic lunch.

“Beneath a sprawling vine, try the homegrown spinach and pea soup, served in vintage crockery.

“Mannion and Co is another café-deli spot, with a relaxed Mediterranean menu.

“On the outskirts of Helmsley, The Star Inn at Harome is a Michelin-starred restaurant set in a 14th-century inn that is a must-visit on a foodie tour of Yorkshire.

“Seasonal, produce-led menus change regularly, with a decadent tasting menu or à la carte available.”

As well as the Vinehouse Café, there are lots of other cafés to visit in Helmsley, such as Barkers Café Bar and Cocoa Tree Café.
